I was actually really pest by it, and thought what's the point having a degree in my professional when I can't focus enough to do it etc etc and was plotting alternate futures of fruit picking and truck driving in my mind.

Then I went to yoga twice a week and it got so much better. Even tonight I went from feeling like shite to feeling ok which was nice. Anyway I told the doc and he said that yoga makes you learn/relearn how to focus on what you are doing without being distracted, and that's why it helps you remember things.

I sound like a yoga salesman, but seriously it's been so good for my old brain.

I'm doing hatha yoga with loads of relaxations pre and post, not crazy fast headstand yoga, oldies yoga all the way


funny you should mention yoga, because i was just reading an email from laura and she only started it this week- not for memory, just to relax her...
